Sylvester Stallone - Page 7

Though it's not due until February 1, 2013, we're pumped for the return of Walter Hill with 'Bullet to the Head.' The film stars Sylvester Stallone, Sung Kang and Jason Mamoa in - what looks to be - a no-nonsense action movie. It's been a while since we've had one of those that wasn't PG-13. Now there's a UK trailer.

Sylvester Stallone may work on 'The Expendables 3' soon enough but before he finishes up that trilogy, he'll write, direct and star in a 3D sci-fi thriller 'Hunter' based on the novel by James Byron Huggins.

We were wondering what happened to 'Bullet to the Head' the Walter Hill-directed, Sylvester Stallone-starring picture when it got bumped from April 2012 to February 2013 (a common story this year). But now there's a trailer, and now we're excited again.

'The Expendables 2' -- the sequel to superstar actioner 'The Expendables' -- is not so much the celebration of insane, red-blooded violence and testosterone that feeds the nostalgia of the golden age of action films as it is a sobering display of aging action stars struggling to maintain relevancy in the age of computer-generated effects and the influence of Michael Bay.

For a man fresh out of public office, Arnold Schwarzenegger is a busy man and for a man whose career was dead in the water less than a decade ago, Sylvester Stallone is thriving. Although these two icons will soon meet face-to-face in 'The Expendables 2' (we're not counting Arnie's blink-and-you'll-miss-him cameo in part one), action fans should be happy to know that this looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship. After all, the two of them are starring in a film called 'The Tomb' together. And hey, there's the first image of the two of them in character!

James Franco is further proving that his career choices stem from a medical condition that doesn't allow him to say the word, "No." Next up: Franco will star as the bad guy in the Jason Statham action film 'Homefront' based on a script by action star Sylvester Stallone.

"Daddy, how do they make all of those guns fire and blow people's heads off in a shower of blood, guts and manliness in 'The Expendables 2'?" "Oh, little Jimmy. Such a curious child. Watch this behind-the-scenes video and find out for yourself!"

Back when Sylvester Stallone first floated the idea of getting the gang back together for ‘The Expendables 2,' fans took to the Internet to complain that Lionsgate would try and water down the gratuitous violence to achieve an audience-friendly PG-13 rating. Well, put your minds at ease, gore-heads, for the upcoming ‘The Expendables 2’ officially has received an R rating from the MPAA. Want to know what it did to earn such a rating?
